Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing turbine engine components having an airfoil portion with a cooling microcircuit and a turbine engine component formed thereby.
  • Turbine engine components such as high pressure turbine blade airfoils, encounter harsh environments and are subject to extremely hot gases from other components such as burners.
  • the airfoil portions of these components experience a varying thermal load.
  • the airfoil portions need to be cooled locally.
  • the mechanisms for cooling the airfoil portions vary from design to design but there is a certain optimum arrangement that minimizes cooling flow.
  • cooling microcircuits in the airfoil portions of turbine engine components may be formed using refractory metal cores in a double wall design.
  • the refractory metal core material has an elevated melting temperature, making it desirable for processing during investment casting before being leached-out and forming internal microcircuit passageways within a wall of the cast component. While this technique is effective to form very desirable cooling microcircuits, it is difficult to inspect the microcircuits thus formed.
  • a method of forming a turbine engine component and a turbine engine component having the features of the preamble of claim 1, respectively of claim 12, is disclosed in EP-A-990481 .
  • Other methods of manufacture which include formation of sections of cooling passages in halves of airfoils are disclosed in JP 01313602 A and US-A-5392515 .
  • One aim of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a turbine engine component having an airfoil portion with cooling microcircuits that can be inspected without great difficulty.
  • a method for manufacturing a turbine engine component having an airfoil portion is provided as set forth in claim 1.
  • the method further preferably comprises forming a second half of the airfoil portion of the turbine engine component, forming a second cooling microcircuit having at least one passageway on an exposed internal wall surface of the second half of the airfoil portion, and placing the first half in an abutting relationship with the second half after the microcircuits have been formed and inspected.
  • the method of the present invention is quite advantageous in that an airfoil portion for a turbine engine component, such as a high pressure turbine blade, can be easily manufactured with microcircuit type cooling features.
  • a turbine engine component is provided as set forth in claim 12.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an airfoil portion 10 of a turbine engine component, such as a high pressure turbine blade.
  • the airfoil portion 10 has a first half 12 and a second half 14.
  • the airfoil halves 12 and 14 may have any desired shape and may include internal structures, such as ribs 16 and 18. As will be discussed hereinafter, the airfoil halves 12 and 14 are formed so that respective internal wall surfaces 20 and 22 are exposed.
  • the airfoil halves 12 and 14 may be cast in any suitable manner known in the art from any suitable material known in the art.
  • the airfoil halves 12 and 14 may be formed from a nickel-based, cobalt-based, iron-based, or titanium-based alloy material.
  • the airfoil halves 12 and 14 are formed using a casting unit 24 such as that shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the casting unit 24 is unique in that it casts a structure 100, such as that shown in FIG. 5 , from which the turbine engine component can be formed.
  • the structure 100 may include a platform 102 having a leading edge 104, a trailing edge 106, a first side edge 108, and a second side edge 110.
  • the structure 100 also may include the first airfoil half 12 along the edge 108 and the second airfoil half 14 along the edge 110.
  • the structure 100 may also have features such as an attachment portion (not shown) formed on an underside of the platform 102 and fillets 112 formed between an exterior surface 114 or 116 of a respective one of the airfoil halves 12 and 14 and a surface of the platform 102.
  • an attachment portion (not shown) formed on an underside of the platform 102 and fillets 112 formed between an exterior surface 114 or 116 of a respective one of the airfoil halves 12 and 14 and a surface of the platform 102.
  • One of the advantages to the structure 100 is that the internal wall surfaces 20 and 22 are exposed prior to the halves 12 and 14 of adjacent ones of the structures 100 being joined together. Because the internal wall surfaces 20 and 22 are exposed, one or more cooling microcircuits can be easily formed on the internal wall surfaces 20 and 22. The shape of the microcircuits can be selected to optimize the cooling needs of the airfoil portion 10 in its intended environment.
  • the casting unit 24 is separable along the lines A - A and B - B which define the split line 26 for the airfoil portion 10.
  • the casting unit 24 is different from prior art casting units wherein the airfoil portion was formed without any split lines. Instead, there was a parting line in a center portion of the platform. Forming the turbine component structures in this manner was disadvantageous in that there were a plurality of leakage paths between adjacent platform portions which required the use of numerous seals. This disadvantage is overcome by the casting unit 24 used to form the structures 100 because the platform portions are now cast as a single unit eliminating the need for seals as it is configured today along the platform edges.
  • the casting units 24 may be filled with a molten material in any suitable manner known in the art. That is, create the mold with wax, shell the mold, liquefy the wax, and pour the liquid metal in the pattern (empty spaces) during casting.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates one form of a split line 26 which can be used in the casting units 24 in carrying out the present invention to form the airfoil halves 12 and 14.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a split line 26' which can be used in the casting units 24 carrying out the present invention to form the airfoil halves 12 and 14.
  • a first cooling microcircuit 120 can be formed on the internal wall surface 20 using any suitable technique known in the art.
  • the microcircuit 120 can be a cast structure if desired where a number of elements 122, such as pedestal structures, which define one or more passageways for a cooling fluid, as well as an inlet 124 and an outlet 126 for the passageways, are cast.
  • the microcircuit 120 can be machined, using any suitable technique known in the art, to form the elements 122 which define the passageway(s) for the cooling fluid and the inlet 124 and the outlet 126 for the passageway(s).
  • the exact configuration of the microcircuit 120 is a function of the end use of the turbine engine component.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate exemplary cooling microcircuit configurations which can be used in the present invention. An advantage to forming the microcircuit 120 in this manner is that it can be easily inspected prior to assembly of the airfoil portion 10.
  • a cover plate 128 is placed over it and joined to one or more of the elements 122.
  • a second microcircuit 120' may be formed on the internal wall surface 22 of the airfoil half 14.
  • the second microcircuit 120' may be formed using any suitable technique known in the art and may have any number of cooling passageways.
  • the microcircuit 120' also has a plurality of elements 122' defining one or more passageways for the cooling fluid, and an inlet 124' and an outlet 126' for the cooling fluid passageway(s). After or before the microcircuit 120' has been inspected, a cover plate 128' is placed over the microcircuit 120' and joined to the elements 122'.
  • the cover plates 128 and 128' may be joined to the elements 122 and 122' of the respective microcircuits 120 and 120' using any suitable technique known in the art such as brazing, diffusion bonding, and welding. It should be noted that one advantage to this approach is that the cover plates 128 and 128' can easily be replaced if dirt plugging becomes a problem in the field.
  • the structures 100 are ready to be installed in a support structure (not shown) such as a disk. Adjacent ones of the structures 100 form an airfoil portion 10 by placing the airfoil half 12 in an abutting relationship with the second airfoil half 14 wherein mating surfaces 40, 42, and 44 on the airfoil half 12 contact or abut mating surfaces 46, 48, and 50 on the airfoil half 14. If desired, the airfoil halves 12 and 14 may be joined to each other using any suitable means known in the art such as by mechanical devices, diffusion bonding, transient liquid phase bonding, or solid state bonding.
  • the technology employed in the present invention provides a simple means to implement microcircuit features in an airfoil design without the complexity associated with double-wall cooling designs.
  • the present invention facilitates internal inspection, resolves the plugging problems, and improves performance by eliminating numerous leakage paths.
